I agree that the motivations aren’t good (and I’m also critical of many of the things that big tech companies are doing to pander to MAGA) but it’s still a functional improvement in my opinion. I just see the decision as a “even a broken clock is right twice a day” sort of scenario.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I’m ok with this. It’s less clutter if all you want is to see public holidays, and it’s easy enough to install calendars that show other events.
